Chinese Animators to Save Live-action Three-body Project
China’s top animator Tian Xiaopeng and his animation studio announced that they would be producing the much-anticipated live-action film,The Three-Body Problem, based on the award-winning sci-fi novel by Chinese writer Liu Cixin.
Tian created China’s 3-D animated milestone Monkey King: Hero Is Back in 2015.It grossed(获利) 956 million yuan in China, becoming the highest-grossing Chinese animation in the country’s film history at that time. It had held the record until 2019 when it got broken by Coloroom Pictures’ Ne Zha that grossed more than five billion yuan.
Book fans of The Three-Body Problem had mixed reactions after hearing about Tian’s involvement.Some expressed doubt about a studio that specializes in animation making a live-action movie. Others also argued that the universe described in the novel is too big and complicated for any filmmakers to portray on big screens. But some seemed optimistic about the new adaption, noting the impressive track record of Tian’s previous works.
The book series talks about how human beings respond to alien invasions.It was published in China between 2006 and 2010, and sold more than one million copies.The first book in the series was awarded the Chinese Science Fiction Galaxy Award in 2006.In 2014, an English translation of the first book by Chinese-American author Ken Liu, titled The Three-Body Problem, was published.A year later, Liu Cixin became the first Asian author to win the Hugo Award, the highest honor in science fiction and fantasy writing.

中国动画人将拯救《三体》真人电影项目 中国顶级动画人田晓鹏及其动画工作室宣布,他们将制作备受期待的真人电影《三体》,该电影改编自中国作家刘慈欣的获奖科幻小说。 2015年,田晓鹏打造了中国3D动画里程碑之作《大圣归来》。该片在中国斩获9.56亿元票房,成为当时中国电影史上票房最高的国产动画电影。这一纪录一直保持到2019年,才被彩条屋影业的《哪吒之魔童降世》打破,后者票房超过50亿元。
得知田晓鹏参与《三体》真人电影项目后,《三体》原著粉丝反应不一。一些人对一家擅长动画制作的工作室拍摄真人电影表示怀疑。还有人认为,小说中描绘的宇宙过于宏大复杂,任何电影制作人都难以在大银幕上呈现。但也有一些人对这次新改编持乐观态度,他们提到田晓鹏此前作品令人印象深刻。
这部小说系列讲述了人类如何应对外星入侵。该系列于2006年至2010年在中国出版,销量超过100万册。系列中的第一部在2006年获得了中国科幻银河奖。2014年,美籍华裔作家刘宇昆翻译的第一部英文译本《三体》出版。一年后,刘慈欣成为首位获得科幻和奇幻文学领域最高荣誉——雨果奖的亚洲作家。

Passage 1
With the seasons changing, now is the perfect time to start planning summer experiences at outdoor theatres in parks, city squares, woodlands and even the side of a cliff! We’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK.
Grosvenor Park, Chester
Every summer, Storyhouse theatre packs up their items and builds an entire amphitheatre (圆形剧场) in Grosvenor Park. This year’s programme sees an eclectic trio:
The Gangs of New York, The I’m portance of Being Earnest and The Wizard of Oz. I’m most excited by the first: a new adaptation written by Kieran Lynn and directed by John Young. I don’t think this story has ever been staged before and it seems like a wild pick for a summer outdoor show.
Minack Theatre, Cornwall
Built into a cliff face in Porthcurno, you hardly need an excuse to visit this theatre. Seeing anything at all, backgrounded by the azure Cornish sea, will be an unforgettable experience. This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, and the less-known works of Shakespeare.
Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Highland Perthshire
Throughout most of the year, the Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s indoor concert hall and studio serve as their regular performance spaces. But this summer, you can see equally lavish productions at the amphitheatre, located in the woods and overlooking Ben-Y-Vrackie mountain. This year they’ll be staging Dido and Aeneas.
Shakespeare in the Squares, London
Is there anything more luxuriously summery than lazing down to your local square for a bit of Shakespeare and a picnic? These guys do what they say on the tin, travelling across the squares of London with a new Shakespeare production every year. This year will be All’s Well That Ends Well.
1. Which play fascinates the author most?
A. The Gangs of New York. B. The Importance of Being Earnest.
C. The Wizard of Oz. D. Little Shop of Horrors.
2. Where can you enjoy a play in the Pitlochry Festival Theatre this summer?
A. On the cliff. B. In the woods. C. At a concert hall. D. On city squares.
3. What is a proper choice for a Shakespeare fan?
A. Grosvenor Park and Pitlochry Festival Theatre.
B. Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Minack Theatre.
C. Minack Theatre and Shakespeare in the Squares.
D. Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Shakespeare in the Squares.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了英国各地的户外剧场以及他们即将上演的剧目。
1. 细节理解题。根据“Grosvenor Park, Chester”部分第二段中“The Gangs of New York, The I’m portance of Being Earnest and The Wizard of Oz. I’m most excited by the first: a new adaptation written by Kieran Lynn and directed by John Young.”(《纽约黑帮》、《认真的重要性》和《绿野仙踪》。我对第一个最感兴趣:由Kieran Lynn编写,John Young导演的新改编剧目。)可知,作者最感兴趣的剧目是“The Gangs of New York”。故选A。
2. 细节理解题。根据“Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Highland Perthshire”部分中“But this summer, you can see equally lavish productions at the amphitheatre, located in the woods and overlooking Ben-Y-Vrackie mountain.”(但是今年夏天,你可以在位于森林中并且俯瞰Ben-Y-Vrackie山的圆形剧场看到同样豪华的制作。)可知,今年夏天你可以在森林中的Pitlochry Festival Theatre欣赏到剧目,故选B。
3. 细节理解题。根据“Minack Theatre, Cornwall”部分中的“This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, and the less-known works of Shakespeare.”(今年将上演巡回演出的“Little Shop of Horrors”和较少为人知的莎士比亚作品。)以及“Shakespeare in the Squares, London”部分中“These guys do what they say on the tin, travelling across the squares of London with a new Shakespeare production every year.”(这些人做到了他们所说的,每年都会带着新的莎士比亚作品在伦敦的广场上巡回演出。)可知,莎士比亚的粉丝可以选择Minack Theatre和Shakespeare in the Squares,故选C。
Passage 2
Nowadays, digital communication develops rapidly. Handwritten letters are gradually fading out of people’s daily life. Yet for overseas Chinese in old times, letters from foreign lands meant endless longing for hometown and relatives.
The popular warm movie Dear You has touched plenty of teenagers recently. It spreads the unique Qiaopi culture of Chaoshan area and guides modern youths to reflect on affection, duty and family bond.
The movie tells a moving story passing decades. A young man named Xiaowei went to Thailand in search of his grandfather. To his surprise, his grandfather had died long before. What surprised him more was a secret kept for decades. All the mails and money sent home over years were not written by his grandpa, but by his grandfather’s best friend Xie Nanzhi.
Driven by kindness and sincere friendship, Xie Nanzhi stuck to writing letters year after year. She took on the heavy responsibility silently all her life and prevented the whole family from suffering great sorrow. Knowing the whole truth, Xiaowei decided to keep the secret and tell a white lie to his grandma, unwilling to break her peaceful life.
Qiaopi, widely known as silver letters, refers to letters along with money sent by overseas Chinese in the past. Limited by poor communication conditions, Qiaopi served as vital bridges connecting wanderers and their families.
At present, Qiaopi culture has gained worldwide cultural recognition. Traditional culture is never distant from modern society. It constantly influences people’s outlook on life, reminding them to value the true love between families.
4. Why does the author mention “digital communication” in the first paragraph?
A. To show that handwritten letters are no longer useful.
B. To introduce the development of technology in China.
C. To emphasize the preciousness of letters in the old days.
D. To complain that people rely too much on phones and computers.
5. What did Xiaowei discover when he arrived in Thailand?
A. His grandfather was living a rich life there.
B. The movie Dear You was being filmed there.
C. Xie Nanzhi refused to give him any information.
D. His grandfather had passed away many years ago.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Xie Nanzhi?
A. Loyal and kind. B. Honest but cold. C. Brave and outgoing. D. Humorous and wise.
7. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To advertise a new movie theater.
B. To introduce Qiaopi culture through a movie story.
C. To explain how to write a Qiaopi letter in old days.
D. To compare Thai culture with unique Chaoshan culture.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【导语】文章主要通过电影《给阿嬷的情书》的故事,介绍了潮汕地区独特的侨批文化及其承载的亲情与诚信价值。
4. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Nowadays, digital communication develops rapidly. Handwritten letters are gradually fading out of people’s daily life. Yet for overseas Chinese in old times, letters from foreign lands meant endless longing for hometown and relatives.(如今,数字通信发展迅速。手写书信逐渐淡出人们的日常生活。然而对于旧时的海外华侨而言,来自异国的信件意味着对家乡和亲人无尽的思念)”可知,作者提及“数字通信”是为了与旧时书信形成对比,凸显过去书信的珍贵。
5. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A young man named Xiaowei went to Thailand in search of his grandfather. To his surprise, his grandfather had died long before.(一个名叫晓伟的年轻人前往泰国寻找祖父。令他惊讶的是,他的祖父早已去世)”可知,晓伟到达泰国后发现祖父已经去世多年。
6. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Driven by kindness and sincere friendship, Xie Nanzhi stuck to writing letters year after year.(在善良和真挚友谊的驱使下,谢南芝年复一年地坚持写信)”以及她默默承担重任、不愿让家人悲伤的行为可知,她既善良又忠诚守信。
7. 推理判断题。综合全文,文章由电影《给阿嬷的情书》切入,讲述了谢南芝代写侨批的故事,随后第五段明确解释了“侨批”的定义和历史作用,最后点明侨批文化的现实意义。可见,文章的主要目的是通过电影故事介绍侨批文化。
Passage 3
With the popularity of digital filming equipment, making short films has become a new favorite among teenagers. Unlike traditional professional movies that require huge teams and costly devices, modern filming allows ordinary students to record stories with simple cameras, proper lighting and basic editing skills.
Liu Yu, a high school student, recently won a city youth film award with his self-created short film. Instead of focusing on fancy scenes or special effects, his film records the daily life of elderly craftsmen who stick to traditional handmade skills. He shot all the materials with a smartphone, adjusted soft lighting to create a warm atmosphere, and edited the videos patiently in his spare time. It took him nearly three months to finish the whole work.
“Many teenagers love watching movies, but few try to create their own works,” Liu Yu said in an interview. “Filming is not just about taking beautiful pictures. It teaches me to observe life carefully and tell stories with screens. Lights and cameras are simple tools, but they help us discover the beauty around us and spread positive values.” He also added that creating a film taught him teamwork and time management, as he discussed plot designs and scene arrangements with his classmates.
A professional film critic spoke highly of student-made short films. He believes that teenage creators have unique and fresh views of the world. Their works may lack perfect technology, but they are full of sincerity and creativity. Nowadays, more schools are providing basic filming courses, teaching students shooting skills, lighting settings and video editing. These practical abilities greatly enrich students’ after-school life and broaden their horizons.
However, the critic also reminded young creators that a good film relies on a meaningful story rather than fancy equipment. Technology serves the content, and sincere emotion and positive themes are always the soul of a wonderful film.
8. What do we know about Liu Yu’s award-winning short film?
A. It was completed with professional devices.
B. It focuses on the life of traditional craftsmen.
C. It is famous for amazing special effects.
D. It took only several weeks to finish.
9. According to Liu Yu, what is the value of making short films?
A. It helps him get more awards.
B. It makes him popular among classmates.
C. It allows him to master professional editing skills.
D. It enables him to learn life observation and cooperation.
10. Which statement does the film critic agree with?
A. Student films are worthless without perfect technology.
B. Fancy equipment is the key to a successful film.
C. True feelings and meaningful content matter most in films.
D. Schools should offer more competition chances for students.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To show how teenagers win film competitions.
B. To explain why student-made short films are valuable.
C. To introduce basic skills of shooting short films.
D. To compare student films and professional movies.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
【导语】文章主要讲述了随着数码拍摄设备普及,拍摄短片成为青少年新爱好,以高中生刘宇获奖短片为例,阐述学生自制短片的价值,同时引用影评人观点指出影片核心在于内容与真情而非高端设备。
8. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead of focusing on fancy scenes or special effects, his film records the daily life of elderly craftsmen who stick to traditional handmade skills.(没有侧重华丽场面或是特效,他的影片记录坚守传统手工技艺的老年匠人的日常生活。)”可知,刘宇的获奖短片聚焦传统手艺人的生活。
9. 细节理解题。根据第三段“It teaches me to observe life carefully and tell stories with screens.(它教会我仔细观察生活,用画面讲述故事。)”以及“He also added that creating a film taught him teamwork and time management, as he discussed plot designs and scene arrangements with his classmates.(他还补充,制作影片教会他团队合作与时间管理,他和同学一同商讨情节设计与场景布置。)”可知,制作短片让他学会观察生活、懂得协作。
10. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the critic also reminded young creators that a good film relies on a meaningful story rather than fancy equipment. Technology serves the content, and sincere emotion and positive themes are always the soul of a wonderful film.(但是,这位影评人也提醒青年创作者:好影片依靠有意义的故事而非华丽设备。技术为内容服务,真挚的情感与积极的主题永远是优秀影片的灵魂。)”可知,影评人认同真情实感与有意义的内容在影片中最重要。
11. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Lights and cameras are simple tools, but they help us discover the beauty around us and spread positive values.(灯光和相机只是简单工具,但它们帮助我们发现身边的美、传播正向价值观。)”以及第四段“Their works may lack perfect technology, but they are full of sincerity and creativity.(他们的作品或许技术不够完善,却饱含真诚与创意。)”、“These practical abilities greatly enrich students’ after-school life and broaden their horizons.(这些实用能力极大丰富了学生的课余生活、拓宽眼界。)”可知,文章以学生拍摄短片事例展开,全程围绕学生自制短片的多重价值展开论述,目的是解释学生自制短片具备价值的原因。
Passage 4
You probably love watching movies. They can be funny, sad, imaginative, inspiring and so much more! There are so many possibilities and so many great movies to watch!
The making of a movie usually begins with a script. 1 The producer is the person who is responsible for coordinating aspects of the film like budget and scheduling. The producer plans how the project will be carried out and he usually starts by hiring a director!
2 The director will usually identify themes or feelings that he or she wants the movie to give to its audience and then gather all the other people who will be needed, such as costume designers, makeup artists, cameramen, and, of course, actors!
Next, shooting(拍摄) begins! 3 Often a director wants to get several “takes”(一次拍摄的电影镜头) of a scene or moment and usually only a few minutes of the movie are finished in one day’s work. 4 So once filming is finished, the director must then work with editors to piece them all together, deciding which takes to use and adding in some special effects.
The entire process from getting the script to editing the scenes generally takes months or even years. Once it is ready, the finished movie is then sent to movie theaters. 5
A. The actual filming can be a slow process.
B. The way that movies are made has changed a lot over time.
C. In movies the director’s job is to bring the script to life on camera.
D. Scenes are also usually not shot in order.

【答案】1. F 2. C 3. A 4. D 5. E
【导语】文章主要介绍了电影的制作过程。电影制作始于剧本,由制片人统筹并聘请导演。导演组建团队后开拍,经多次拍摄、剪辑合成,历时数月乃至数年,最终上映供观众欣赏。
1. 根据上文“The making of a movie usually begins with a script. (一部电影的制作通常始于剧本。)”及下文“The producer is the person who is responsible for coordinating aspects of the film like budget and scheduling. The producer plans how the project will be carried out and he usually starts by hiring a director! (制片人负责协调影片的各项事宜,比如预算和排期。制片人会规划项目如何开展,并通常会从聘请导演开始。)”可知,上文提出剧本,下文主要介绍制片人的工作内容。 F项“It gets bought by a movie studio or a producer. (剧本会被电影制片厂或制片人买下。)”符合语境,It指代上文script。
2. 该小题为段首句,根据下文“The director will usually identify themes or feelings that he or she wants the movie to give to its audience and then gather all the other people who will be needed, such as costume designers, makeup artists, cameramen, and, of course, actors! (导演通常会确定他或她希望电影向观众传达的主题或情感,然后召集所有其他需要的人员,比如服装设计师、化妆师、摄影师,当然还有演员。)”可知,本段主要介绍导演的工作内容。C项“In movies the director’s job is to bring the script to life on camera. (在电影中,导演的任务是将剧本通过镜头呈现出来。)”符合语境。
3. 根据上文“Next, shooting (拍摄) begins!”及下文“Often a director wants to get several “take” (一次拍摄的电影镜头) of a scene or moment and usually only a few minutes of the movie are finished in one day’s work. (通常,导演希望对一个场景或时刻进行多次拍摄,而且通常一天的工作中只有几分钟的电影内容能够完成。)”可知,前文点明拍摄阶段开始,后文提到一天通常只能完成几分钟的电影内容,说明拍摄进度很慢。A项“The actual filming can be a slow process. (实际拍摄可能是一个缓慢的过程。)”符合语境。
4. 根据下文“So once filming is finished, the director must then work with editors to piece them all together, deciding which takes to use and adding in some special effects. (所以一旦拍摄结束,导演就必须与剪辑师合作,将它们全部拼接在一起,决定使用哪些镜头,并添加一些特效。)”可知,拍摄结束后,导演需要和剪辑师把所有镜头拼接筛选,说明拍摄不是按故事顺序拍摄的。D项“Scenes are also usually not shot in order. (场景通常也不会按照顺序拍摄。)”符合语境。
5. 根据上文“Once it is ready, the finished movie is then sent to movie theaters. (一旦完成,这部成品电影就会被送往电影院。)”可知,前文提到制作完成的电影被送往电影院。 E项“People can watch and enjoy it in the theatre. (人们就可以在影院观看欣赏这部电影。)”顺承结尾,逻辑通顺。

Chinese Animators to Save Live-action Three-body Project
China’s top animator Tian Xiaopeng and his animation studio announced that they would be producing the much-anticipated live-action film,The Three-Body Problem, based on the award-winning sci-fi novel by Chinese writer Liu Cixin.
Tian created China’s 3-D animated milestone Monkey King: Hero Is Back in 2015.It grossed(获利) 956 million yuan in China, becoming the highest-grossing Chinese animation in the country’s film history at that time. It had held the record until 2019 when it got broken by Coloroom Pictures’ Ne Zha that grossed more than five billion yuan.
Book fans of The Three-Body Problem had mixed reactions after hearing about Tian’s involvement.Some expressed doubt about a studio that specializes in animation making a live-action movie. Others also argued that the universe described in the novel is too big and complicated for any filmmakers to portray on big screens. But some seemed optimistic about the new adaption, noting the impressive track record of Tian’s previous works.
The book series talks about how human beings respond to alien invasions.It was published in China between 2006 and 2010, and sold more than one million copies.The first book in the series was awarded the Chinese Science Fiction Galaxy Award in 2006.In 2014, an English translation of the first book by Chinese-American author Ken Liu, titled The Three-Body Problem, was published.A year later, Liu Cixin became the first Asian author to win the Hugo Award, the highest honor in science fiction and fantasy writing.

这部小说系列讲述了人类如何应对外星入侵。该系列于2006年至2010年在中国出版,销量超过100万册。系列中的第一部在2006年获得了中国科幻银河奖。2014年,美籍华裔作家刘宇昆翻译的第一部英文译本《三体》出版。一年后,刘慈欣成为首位获得科幻和奇幻文学领域最高荣誉——雨果奖的亚洲作家。

Passage 1
With the seasons changing, now is the perfect time to start planning summer experiences at outdoor theatres in parks, city squares, woodlands and even the side of a cliff! We’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK.
Grosvenor Park, Chester
Every summer, Storyhouse theatre packs up their items and builds an entire amphitheatre (圆形剧场) in Grosvenor Park. This year’s programme sees an eclectic trio:
The Gangs of New York, The I’m portance of Being Earnest and The Wizard of Oz. I’m most excited by the first: a new adaptation written by Kieran Lynn and directed by John Young. I don’t think this story has ever been staged before and it seems like a wild pick for a summer outdoor show.
Minack Theatre, Cornwall
Built into a cliff face in Porthcurno, you hardly need an excuse to visit this theatre. Seeing anything at all, backgrounded by the azure Cornish sea, will be an unforgettable experience. This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, and the less-known works of Shakespeare.
Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Highland Perthshire
Throughout most of the year, the Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s indoor concert hall and studio serve as their regular performance spaces. But this summer, you can see equally lavish productions at the amphitheatre, located in the woods and overlooking Ben-Y-Vrackie mountain. This year they’ll be staging Dido and Aeneas.
Shakespeare in the Squares, London
Is there anything more luxuriously summery than lazing down to your local square for a bit of Shakespeare and a picnic? These guys do what they say on the tin, travelling across the squares of London with a new Shakespeare production every year. This year will be All’s Well That Ends Well.
1. Which play fascinates the author most?
A. The Gangs of New York. B. The Importance of Being Earnest.

B. Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Minack Theatre.
C. Minack Theatre and Shakespeare in the Squares.
D. Pitlochry Festival Theatre and Shakespeare in the Squares.
Passage 2
Nowadays, digital communication develops rapidly. Handwritten letters are gradually fading out of people’s daily life. Yet for overseas Chinese in old times, letters from foreign lands meant endless longing for hometown and relatives.
The popular warm movie Dear You has touched plenty of teenagers recently. It spreads the unique Qiaopi culture of Chaoshan area and guides modern youths to reflect on affection, duty and family bond.
The movie tells a moving story passing decades. A young man named Xiaowei went to Thailand in search of his grandfather. To his surprise, his grandfather had died long before. What surprised him more was a secret kept for decades. All the mails and money sent home over years were not written by his grandpa, but by his grandfather’s best friend Xie Nanzhi.
Driven by kindness and sincere friendship, Xie Nanzhi stuck to writing letters year after year. She took on the heavy responsibility silently all her life and prevented the whole family from suffering great sorrow. Knowing the whole truth, Xiaowei decided to keep the secret and tell a white lie to his grandma, unwilling to break her peaceful life.
Qiaopi, widely known as silver letters, refers to letters along with money sent by overseas Chinese in the past. Limited by poor communication conditions, Qiaopi served as vital bridges connecting wanderers and their families.
At present, Qiaopi culture has gained worldwide cultural recognition. Traditional culture is never distant from modern society. It constantly influences people’s outlook on life, reminding them to value the true love between families.

Passage 3
With the popularity of digital filming equipment, making short films has become a new favorite among teenagers. Unlike traditional professional movies that require huge teams and costly devices, modern filming allows ordinary students to record stories with simple cameras, proper lighting and basic editing skills.
Liu Yu, a high school student, recently won a city youth film award with his self-created short film. Instead of focusing on fancy scenes or special effects, his film records the daily life of elderly craftsmen who stick to traditional handmade skills. He shot all the materials with a smartphone, adjusted soft lighting to create a warm atmosphere, and edited the videos patiently in his spare time. It took him nearly three months to finish the whole work.
“Many teenagers love watching movies, but few try to create their own works,” Liu Yu said in an interview. “Filming is not just about taking beautiful pictures. It teaches me to observe life carefully and tell stories with screens. Lights and cameras are simple tools, but they help us discover the beauty around us and spread positive values.” He also added that creating a film taught him teamwork and time management, as he discussed plot designs and scene arrangements with his classmates.
A professional film critic spoke highly of student-made short films. He believes that teenage creators have unique and fresh views of the world. Their works may lack perfect technology, but they are full of sincerity and creativity. Nowadays, more schools are providing basic filming courses, teaching students shooting skills, lighting settings and video editing. These practical abilities greatly enrich students’ after-school life and broaden their horizons.
However, the critic also reminded young creators that a good film relies on a meaningful story rather than fancy equipment. Technology serves the content, and sincere emotion and positive themes are always the soul of a wonderful film.
8. What do we know about Liu Yu’s award-winning short film?
A. It was completed with professional devices.
B. It focuses on the life of traditional craftsmen.
C. It is famous for amazing special effects.
D. It took only several weeks to finish.
9. According to Liu Yu, what is the value of making short films?
A. It helps him get more awards.
B. It makes him popular among classmates.
C. It allows him to master professional editing skills.
D. It enables him to learn life observation and cooperation.
10. Which statement does the film critic agree with?
A. Student films are worthless without perfect technology.
B. Fancy equipment is the key to a successful film.
C. True feelings and meaningful content matter most in films.
D. Schools should offer more competition chances for students.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To show how teenagers win film competitions.
B. To explain why student-made short films are valuable.
C. To introduce basic skills of shooting short films.
D. To compare student films and professional movies.
